Could Teams have a name change to something different?
I understand why MS named their product Teams and it makes sense. Unfortunately, when we have teams in our department, it makes things a bit confusing. For example, we have the ISR Team who are under one manager so we have a MS Team for them. That team is called "Resource ISR Team" but when we have to explain or write the location to someone it gets confusing. It's either the ISR team in Teams or TEAMS: ISR Team. We have at least 20 different teams in our department and 8 different MS Teams with the smaller teams (ICU, PCU, OB, etc.) listed as channels.
kstone7_iuh why? Don’t you like explaining to a team that their team has a team in Teams for team work and if their team teams up with another team, they can create a new team in Teams for their teams to work as a team.
…Or they could use a shared channel.
(yes, it’s challenging)
I’ve found clients start referring to their channels more or talk about MS Teams/Microsoft Teams. They also drop the use of “team” in the titles too.

- This is how we explain it and there's no way to say it without sounding sarcastic or chuckling a little. Just sounds stupid when you're trying to explain it to someone who doesn't have technical experience (I work with nurses).
Our MS Teams are separated by region/manager and the channels have the specific teams that are in that region.
Something more like "Crash and Burn, Baby"? So it better reflects the day to day Teams experience on a Mac?
